Which software do you use for CAD modelling? Because I often regard CAD software as either "useful, but a pain to use" or "pretty but seemingly useless". It's probably a question of steep learning curves and strange use cases. As in, I can open 3D file for mobile phone case in FreeCAD, but then I struggle to import Nokia N900 stylus onto the same stage/into the same file, or rather, struggle to scale it (by factor of 10, was it?)? Because it would be neat to have phone case that can store stylus inside. But then, I would need to figure out a nice, thin-end stylus for capacitive touchscreen, first...

And it's also a question of "Don't forget to take stylus out of phone case every time before you take case off the phone".

Thank you. Best wishes.

Well, as you saw in the video, I made the design in FreeCad and then 3d printed the files. For the arrow keys I used those small click buttons as i have lot of them.

I run FreeCad on the phone using Wine.
In the case of s24u, I made a cut out in the case to be able to easily take out the stylus.
You try to design a case for N900?

Cheers!

No, trying to design a USB enabled case for HMD Fusion. So that it would have camera lens cover, notice when it's opened and closed, have half-way press camera button, have notification LED, and have stylus. Stylus would have to work with capacitive touchscreen. And have pointy end, for ease of writing and painting. But I have yet to see a ballpoint refill that plays nice with capacitive touchscreen...

And everything is tricky. From choice of materials to tolerances between parts.

Ideally, it would also add wireless charging. But that's another can of worms.

Oh, and flashlight for camera. The default one for HMD Fusion is deliberately dim?

Thank you!
